Does the plaintiff need a lawyer?

Legal analysis: when the court is in session, there is no need to hire a lawyer. Both the plaintiff and the defendant can be confused with lawyers as long as they have the ability to participate in litigation activities and make their own statements and defenses. Generally speaking, lawyers have much more legal knowledge than ordinary people. If the parties themselves feel that some legal issues are unclear and need a lawyer to represent them, they only need to hire a lawyer.

Legal basis: Article 32 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). In addition to exercising the right of defense, criminal suspects and defendants may also entrust one or two people as defenders. The following persons may be entrusted as defenders: (1) lawyers; (2) A person recommended by a people's organization or the unit to which the criminal suspect or defendant belongs; (3) Guardians, relatives and friends of criminal suspects and defendants. A person who has been sentenced to punishment according to law or deprived of or restricted personal freedom shall not act as a defender.
